Subject: 14.0.5; What about excluding .dir-locals.el from GNU ELPA tarballs
Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2024 06:40:44 +0800

Dear AUCTeX maintainers,

Currently, the .dir-locals.el file is included in the GNU ELPA
tarball[1], which causes this compilation error[2] when doing AOT native
compilation for Emacs lisp packages in NixOS.

Error: wrong-type-argument ("/nix/store/<hash>-emacs-auctex-14.0.6/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/auctex-14.0.6/.dir-locals.el" proper-list-p (log-edit-font-lock-gnu-style . t))
  mapbacktrace(#f(compiled-function (evald func args flags) #<bytecode -0xf42c55d2510e41>))

  signal(wrong-type-argument ("/nix/store/<hash>-emacs-auctex-14.0.6/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/auctex-14.0.6/.dir-locals.el" proper-list-p (log-edit-font-lock-gnu-style . t)))

Wrong type argument: "/nix/store/<hash>-emacs-auctex-14.0.6/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/auctex-14.0.6/.dir-locals.el", proper-list-p, (#<symbol log-edit-font-lock-gnu-style at 424> . #<symbol t at 455>)

We can workaround this by skipping native compilation for
.dir-locals.el.  However, I do not think .dir-locals.el has to be
included in the GNU ELPA tarball.  In addition, MELPA ignores[3] that
file by default.

Could you exclude .dir-locals.el from GNU ELPA tarball?  FYI,
:ignored-files[4] of GNU ELPA specification can be used to do this.

Thanks for your suggestion. I adapted .elpaignore instead to remove
obsolete entries at the same time. I'll close this bug.
